About Elizabeth Kean MBACP

I’m an integrative counsellor with a background in psychology and education, offering a warm, grounded space where you can feel truly heard - both in your words and in what your body might be holding. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, low, stuck, or navigating change, we’ll explore your experience together at a pace that feels right for you.​

​

Counselling can offer a steady, supportive relationship where you can deepen your self-understanding and find your own way through life’s challenges. My relational approach draws on transactional analysis, attachment theory, and psychodynamic thinking, with a focus on how early experiences shape how we feel and relate today. I work with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, self-harm, low self-esteem, life transitions, grief, trauma, OCD, family and relationship difficulties, and domestic abuse.

​

I also hold a CACPB-accredited qualification in somatic trauma work, which informs how I support clients in noticing and gently working with bodily sensations, tension, and nervous system responses—helping to process trauma in a safe and embodied way.

Before training as a counsellor, I studied psychology and completed a BA (Hons) in Education, working for over 15 years in both mainstream and specialist educational settings.
